Hey - glad you found LoftLust. Thought it was time to offer up a little more about myself and this blog. As it continues to be tweaked please throw out suggestions - it’d be cool to know what you think.
My name’s Brittany and I live in Austin, TX in a place I like to call Transitioning. I share it with my Jacob and our cat Ana (a.k.a. Fatty). Jacob’s my techie on LoftLust and my other half otherwise. We came up with the idea for the site on one of those lazy Saturdays when you make it to your favorite coffee shop (Bouldin Creek) and go no further for hours.
I had been suggesting that cool, well-designed products for the modern home really can be found everywhere - across price ranges and various degrees of accessibility - and that all it takes to make an urban space look good is knowing where to find stuff and how to juxtapose (one of my favorite words) it. I had been that girl re-arranging her room at least once every season since I was 9, and my bookmarks list, recently reorganized, was seeming more like a directory than a list.
So - it seemed like a really fun idea to make a blog with my recommendations for contemporary home furnishings that are lovable, undoubtedly lust-worthy, and also obtainable.
If you’re at all like me, you have a low threshold for resisting the instant-gratification bug. You are goal-oriented and as such tend to reward yourself now and then. You think to yourself, “What’s more rewarding than having a kickass place to come home to?”, and that knowing how to get something you want - something that’s a little more out of the ordinary, original, or a downright design masterpiece - well that just might be heaven.
That’s LoftLust.
